The Importance of Stomach Acid, what to do about H Pylori

August 30, 2019

today on Marcus news.com the fascinating connection between stomach acid and over 4,000 bodily functions how long’s stomach acid can lead to autoimmune disorders osteoporosis osteoarthritis emphysema aging and wrinkles what is H pylori and how do we get rid of it learn just how important your stomach acid really is today’s guest is medical expert James Sloan change your life right now so what is H pylori is it is important for people to realize if they have that problem why they got that problem in the first place h pylori is a bacterium it’s a helical vector pylori it’s a little corkscrew-shaped bacteria so a little corkscrew into your stomach lining and then it secretes ammonia and ammonia highly alkaline so it neutralizes the stomach acid in order to protect itself from the acidity and from there it can cause anything from ulcers to cancer it’s a bug that lives in your stomach stomach is usually full of acid and acid kills things oh this thing doesn’t want to be killed so it produces an alkaline substance ammonia ammonia to lower the level of stomach acid so it can thrive so people who have h pylori first of all no alkaline water no baking soda no tums and things like that but as any anything normally your stomach if it’s working fully right the assets you’d kill almost anything so they probably already had depleted stomach acid in the first place right yeah where to take hold more likely the stomach would have been depleted and what lowers people’s stomach acids antacids acid blockers alkaline water calcium carbonate in supplements magnesium oxide in supplements all these can neutralize your stomach acid one of the things people need to understand is that in order to generate stomach acid you have to have certain nutrients well three of these nutrients are b6 b12 and folate and all three of those nutrients require sufficient stomach acid in the first place in order to form more stomach acid are to be absorbed in order to form or something I should say so you’ve got to have that stomach acid the first place if you’re downing tums all the time it’s not as simple as your body will just create more stomach acid and replace it eventually it what’s going to happen is you can deplete your body’s ability to generate stomach acid because those three vitamins are required for a process called methylation now methylation is like four thousand reactions in the body require methylation you know immunity energy production lowering homocysteine which is anything is inflammatory so it can cause heart disease and cancer and so on formation are hormones neurotransmitters cartilage synthesis and so on but also your methylation is required for the formation of more stomach acid so by inhibiting the absorption of the b6 b12 and folate when you neutralize your stomach acid with things like alkaline water baking soda calcium carbonate magnesium oxide and stuff like that you’re actually going to in the long term inhibit the formation of more stomach acid the stomach as is needed for for not just breaking down your food and killing bacteria it’s it’s for everything or something acid is actually going to play the role in well as a couple things one it’s going to reduce acidity in the blood because you remember the carbonic acid is used to form stomach acid so it actually reduces some of the acidity in your blood in the process and then yeah it kills off the various pathogens like you know fungus bacteria and viruses that we ingest are all killed off the digestive enzyme pepsin which is a protein digestive enzyme requires sufficient stomach acid to be activated so if you don’t have sufficient stomach acid you know breaking your proteins properly go back to the immune reactions they can be caused from improperly digested proteins then you got absorption of nutrients again your b6 b12 of folate or acid dependent for absorption but so are your minerals you know if you take something like magnesium hydroxide or something like that it’s very very poorly absorbed but if you can turn it into a more absorbable salt like if you have sufficient stomach acid you’ll turn that into a magnesium chloride which is better absorbed in the hydroxide is right but stomach gas is needed for all kinds of stuff for example silica to be absorbed produce collagen to your skin so you she’s starting to get wrinkles and you’re just aging away like in front of your eyes you’re look in the mirror and you’re aging well your stomach acid is probably low and the irony is a lot of things that that decrease your stomach acid because it decreases with age mm-hmm one of the things that speeds up the process is is stress combinate what’s the connection between adrenals and stomach acid because stress burns out your adrenals yeah and there’s a chain reaction from there yeah part of this may be the epinephrine if I recall right is the epinephrine will help to increase the output of stomach acid so if your adrenals are crashed then it will decrease the stomach acid as well and with a silica you’re mentioning yeah that’s a in order for silica to be absorbed it has to convert first from silicon to ortho silicic acid so it doesn’t absorb as silica and will be so-called worthless elect acid silica regardless but the or the Seleka acid is formed by the dissolving of silica in the water which is very poorly dissolved in water but in the presence of an acid is enhanced some so as we have sufficient stomach acid we convert more of the silica into ortho silicic acid so we get playing into our system and we actually have less aging diseases osteoporosis osteoarthritis i radiculitis emphysema you know even the wrinkles and stuff are all silica deficiencies because we lose collagen and elastin so instead of the tissues being strong and elastic where they snap back like if I took my skin see it stamps right back as he last and they gives that elasticity if you lose the last in the skin it’ll stay stretched out in the lungs you end up with emphysema because the lung stacks are stretched out if you lose elastin and things like your tendons and ligaments then you have joint Asian well joint issues but you end up with well yeah basically bone and joint issues because it’s not supporting the tissues properly you need silica in order to link glucosamine molecules into chondroitin because chondroitin is basically glucosamine linked to silica linking close meat in this big long chain and so you need the celica to build your joints so now you start getting osteoarthritis because you’re losing cartilage and the knee from the lack of silica all right so it’s kind of ironic that if you have stress in your life you’re burning out your dreams your stomach acids lowering you’re getting less of the silica and now you’re you’re getting all these aging problems as a result of that and now your stomach acid naturally decreases over age anyway so you’re just it’s like this delicious cycle exactly look at some of the people in other countries like in particularly in China they can be a hundred years old not a wrinkle on their face and they consume foods that are very hi in silica and then also they eat a lot of bitter tasting foods man bitters will stimulate the vagus nerve through the bitter receptors here in the back of the tongue that in turn kicks up your stomach acid levels among other things and so they actually get more silica absorption by maintaining their stomach acid through the bitter foods so what foods they eat over there that make them stay so young bitter melon would be one probably a lot of foods you don’t want to know everything but getting back to the h pylori it’s a bug that makes your stomach more alkaline right by secreting ammonia so now your stomach acid lower and the bug starts to thrive in an alkaline environment exactly and so this mastic gum which is a powder bein made from a resin from a tree helps kill this bacteria but if people keep doing what’s causing the problem in the first place like alkaline water things like that you’re just creating an environment to make it easy for this stuff to continue yeah and other pathogens as well because most pathogens are killed off by acids not by alkalinity the same reason I said our intestinal flora generate acids – so what’s not killed off in the stomach can be killed off by the intestinal acids from the various probiotic bacteria that we have in our intestines so how much you take like mastic gum is what for people who don’t know what it is technically is Prowse Mystique a– but we’ll call it mastic advocate most people don’t when they see the spelling it’s mas T I see so they call it mastic watashi mystique ax but the gum is required in very very small amounts the studies I’ve seen with Mystique ax and h pylori showed it was like point zero zero one percent or I mean it was very very tiny amounts that were really required so you don’t need large amount of it it’ll come in tab our capsules this little tiny tiny capsules if they don’t need very much of it and how much you taking home I would do one capsule preferably three times a day in empty stomach yeah because you want to concentrated now if you want to take it with other herbs to enhance it some really good ones are licorice root is really good because licorice root has found to also control h pylori and it’s good anti-inflammatory as well as you karuta now you route is and also a store to anti inflammatory but it’s very high in what they call saponins and these sapiens are good antiseptic for one but the other reason is that they enhance the absorption of compounds into the tissues so it’ll actually take the active compounds the mystique of gum the resin and help it to penetrate into a plra we’re going to be back with you shortly we’ll be back with more helpful information for your life and well-being at Marcus com

I had gastritis for over five years been taking Prevacid for a long time I have been diagnosed with gastric cancer I'm only 40 years old with two young kids please change your diet and seek medical help please ask your doctor to take you seriously and be under a doctors watch, cancer and chemotherapy is a horrible thing to go through please get help

So tired. The burping/belching/major diarrhea/stomach making lots of weird noises/hurting under left rib cage & it's real tender when I press where it hurts. I can't leave the house because of this. So miserable I don't know what to do. Please give me the cure to make this go away.

Alkaline water and ESPECIALLY from a spring (especially in high altitude, i.e. more than 500-600 m) is BENEFICIAL for the stomach and offers IMMEDIATE soothing of stomach discomfort. Try it after a heavy meal or with empty stomach and you will be amazed of the results. You will be instantly relieved!

you wrote that people with weak stomach acid have gas because of undigested food and that they need to build stomach acid with bitter things. and you said they have gas because of for example undigested cellulose. any my question is how can you build your stomach acid with lets say dandelions alone, since they are leaves with cellulose in it? how can this build acid without giving you gas? it is confusing a little bit if you get what i mean

Most herbal plant sites warn us to avoid using too much of this or that due to a high saponin level… rarely do you hear why they should be avoided or that there is a beneficial side to them.. good to hear it.

Do you have to have H.p to take mastic gum. I only have acid at night come up to my throat when I sleep depending what I eat or if I ate to late and I have to burp after eating. I am vegan, gf, refined sugar free, soy free, hardly ever eat anything processed. But I have been suffering from constipation for years. Would this supplement help me?

Strong stomach acid is not good for people with a colostomy or fistula, as if the bag leaks which it does of course, the stomach acid gets on the skin and burns and damages it, so Markus should think of the problems this can cause, everything is great if your healthy and can eat raw food etc but its not for everyone. Love Markus's videos great information but I eat bread, have dairy and well cooked food

This is an old video but I've been slowly going through your videos, learning, trying to heal my digestion because boy it is messed up after my gallbladder surgery last month. When I eat, I'm extremely tired, with sound sensitivity, reflux, can't stay awake at all and with this fatigue, I have extreme anxiety. I tried eating a huge salad one day, leafy greens, organic heirloom tomatoes, but the next day I had a massive panic attack. My entire back was on fire. I take gi encap by thorne and blue bonnet enzymes, which eradicated my reflux, but I keep slipping up and eating bad stuff like greasy vegan pop corn, or cashews hurt me. I truly wish I could digest raw foods, so bad and not get sick, but my stomach acid is not high enough to digest these things. I was seeing some improvement with eating mashed potatoes and corn and greens for almost two weeks. I was still nodding off, but had less anxiety. Sorry this is so long. Just wondering if you think I should gradually introduce raw greens etc first, then work my way up? Bitter greens are good, right? I took apple cider vinegar last week and puked everywhere 🙁 Too strong for me. 1tsp in a glass of water, but what really did me in was the nutritional yeast ugh

Seriously… nearly 6 minutes of a video I didn't even click onto 'Smarter Nutrition – Soothing Joint Inflammation' a sales pitch for curcumin tabs. Did she hijack your stomach acid vid. I clicked off after a couple of minutes! Sorry n all but I couldn't be bothered listening to her pitch just to get your your vid, and there wasn't even a 'skip ad' button! 🙁

Please help me to understand. I've got gastritis so my stomach is producing excess acid which is causing burning, pain and discomfort in my stomach. So should I just not take any anti acids or acid blockers? If I don't take these won't I develop an ulcer and the acid will cause damage to my stomach? Also the stomach pain in so distracting so what do I do?

Hi Markus Rothkranz!, I want to tell you 1.000 times: thank you for this!!!, I have helicobacter (positive values are more than 1, and I have 7). Also thanks to the doctor James Sloane for the excellent explanation!!!

About Antiacids, bloquers, alcaline water, calcium carbonate, magnesium oxide, where I need to know quantities, and which types to buy… you have information videos about this or better I will send an email to James Sloane?

(sorry if my english is bad, I'm from Spain, I hope you understand me well)

so many conflicting opinions. who do you believe. Every dr or naturopath has a different opinion. I suppose there are thousands of way to bake a cake and that is really what medicine is opinions not always evidence based.

Thank you so very much for this video. I have been so miserable with bloating, fatigue, depression, and blood sugar crashes for over 3 years with doctors telling me it's Sibo and here's antibiotics. The antibiotics didn't work, and doctors say sorry if your not in pain there is nothing else to do, " here try our probiotics" …. I eat so healthy, 95% organic, mostly raw vegan with a little cooked rice and beans, which tends to make vegans think we are invincible. I recently have tried adding HCL with pepsin which helps raise low stomach acid and i see improvements already. So that just shows me I need to try more of what you both have said. Thank you so much again.

Wait a minute. I read "The Enzyme Factor" and the doctor said that when we have H. Pylori the water to be drunk is alkaline water. Now I come here and this doctor says quite the opposite. I have been drinking alkaline water for like 3 and half years and it has helped. At least, that's what I thought. I have noticed during the past two weeks that after drinking only my alkaline water in the morning, my stomach gets a bit bloated. If I drink with lemon, then it's OK. I do not know what to think now.

I need help with liverflukes, mites in the eyes ears around and in the nose, and on top of that h pylori, or another ulcer,, im starting to take amoxicillin, omeprazole. so symptoms are:::: I have severe bloating and costipation, horrible stomach pain like i have a football in my gut gets so tight and i cant breath and my heartbeart is radicle, and i cant sleep, doing intermittent fasting 20 hours a day, i have no choice, too bloated to breath, and I just had a bovine heart valve in february

Hi for how long do u take these herbs. Ready to start ASAP. Feeling like my body is ready to shut down. Can’t eat much and lost a lot of weight which I can’t afford any more. I was thinking about the masica gum and yucca root . I have sever anxiety in taking meds. I only take low dose of Xanax when needed cuz it feels like I’m going to die if I don’t take it while having a panic attack. Is there any interactions between d 3 I would take?

I feel so blessed after I found this video today. I’ve been suffering from H pylori for 4 years since the first diagnosis. I’m 27 yrs old and had to do the treatment with those strong antibiotics 3 times!! and unfortunately didn’t help. I gave up on the treatments! Nowadays have digestive issues. I often get constipation, nauseas, sometimes headaches, etc. Sorry everybody if It’s hard to understand my English i’m a native Spanish speaker, I’ve just learned English the past year therefore I still struggling with my grammar.I’m going to watch this video many times in order to understand better because there are things I couldn’t. Thank u Mr. Markus

I HAVE THE BIGGEST QUESTION EVER! Can H pylori be missed on endoscopy biopsy or stool test if 1 day before that test you take something NATURAL that might kill bacteria but its not kiled…you still have symptoms??

My question is trying to produce more acid ?? how does that effect ulcers caused by h pylori? wouldn't it make the ulcers worst and cause more damage because the acid could possibly leak into other parts of the body. I just finished my second round of antibiotics for h pylori but I have been having alot of pain due to stomach acid straight gas and acid.

Really starting to like these videos with both you guys. I realize this comment is on a four year old video, I've just watched a few now. The total knowledge is great, I'm hard to impress on this stuff too. Especially liked the info on mastic gum and yuca at the end there, good stuff.

Three things I used and it killed H. Pylori without using antibiotics. It took 3 months but, i went for my endoscopy last week, got my results today, 04/08/19 , No H.Pylori. First thing i took in the morning on a empty stomach was 1 tablespoon of Manuka Honey 16+ factor. I did that once a day, Sometimes I took it twice a day, but very rare. Second thing I took was a product my chiropractor recommended and you can buy it on amazon, Its called Heartburn FREE! Take 1 gel cap every other day until symptoms are gone. I went through 2 boxes. The main ingredient is D-Limonene which helps kiil the H. Pylori. Then I used a supplement by Nutri-West called Total Upper GI, It has all the ingredients in it to rebuild the stomach. I took that twice a day 30 min before breakfast and dinner

@thehealthylife can you explain why my esophagus and stomach felt burning for a while after I take apple cider vinegar? Should I continue and will the burning stop eventually? Is there a different acid that is less invasive, or strong but will still do the job?

There is no hydrochloric acid reserve stored in the body, it would burn a hole in the body. The cells in the stomach must produce the necessary base immediately. The ingredients of the gastric cell that make hydrochloric acid (HCl) are carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and sodium chloride (NaCl) or potassium chloride (KCl).

As we can see, the by-product for making hydrochloric acid is sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) or potassium bicarbonate (KHCO3), which goes into the blood. These bicarbonates are alkaline inhibitors that neutralize excess acid in the blood; They change solid acid waste into liquid form. When they neutralize the solid acid wastes, extra carbon dioxide is made and emitted through the lungs.

If you take HCL pills it will "eat" your base reserve, then your teeth, then the rest of your bones. NOT FUN! Supplement with potassium chloride instead.

If you're highly stressed would taking better betane HCL pills before and during your meals help? Also, if you have candida ACV would inflame… that so drinking a tablespoon of lemon water before meals also?

I have had repeated episodes of h-pylori, and did not do any of the things mentioned on video to cause it…. except, have had high stress.Have several other chronic conditions…gut is a mess…low motility….vascular system a mess…H-pylori discovered with work up after ischemia to large intestine. That quite the pain….even the memory.

I’ll reread and rewatch, but I don’t see help for me. It would be nice to feel well, but guess I’m used to..not.

My Dad has H Pylori and he was prescibed Omeprazole which blocks stomack acid production. Surely Omeprazole is thre last thing he needs if these guys are correct? He has'nt had one let. Any help appreciated.

Markus, I've been on the raw diet phases for awhile now. I tried a salad per day plus smoothies last few days & I still have undigested food in stools despite little water around meal times, enzymes, acv & herbs. I had this problem plus boat when I was on a normal diet. Dr. says I'm showing a little anemia. Any thoughts? Finished the parasite cleanse too. Sigh. Thanks. (addendum: I looked at the back of healyourself "if it isn't working section" & I'm thinking not going early to bed & early to rise might be the culprit for not healing) I might've answered my own question but I guess time will tell. Lol Thanks.

My ulcer is at the beginning of my stomach so, when I eat, the food hits the ulcer and stops. Then, it backs up into my esophagus and is horribly painful. My only relief is acid blockers. Now, I learn that to be healed, I have to stop the very thing that allows me to eat. I'm between a rock and a hard place.

Instead of taking mastic gum which is not dealing with the root problem. H pylori got there because stomach acid was low so increase the stomach acid so it can’t thrive easily and will die off. Take bets in hcl or celery juice or other ways to get acid up for good.

I have a question? When people have acid reflux and doctors tell you, you have to much acid and give you Zantac or tell you to take tums, I have seen people say they feel better from taking those. Why is that?
